HueMetrix’s Dye-It-Right Monitor™ is an accurate, reliable, and easy-to-use analytical instrument that monitors dye exhaustion, pH, conductivity, and temperature in real-time. This data is then converted into easy to understand charts and graphs enabling laboratory and production dyeing staff to optimize dye selection, recipes and processes to improve lab to production correlation and increase shade matching while reducing dye cycle times.

The above illustration represents the dye exhaustion of three dyes: Red, Yellow, and Blue and their corresponding relationships with salt and temperature using the HueMetrix Dye-It-Right™ technology platform.

Benefits of the Dye-It-Right Monitor™ include:

• Reduced time developing a procedure, cost analysis and process specification for a new shade, or optimization and cost reduction of existing shades
• Optimized dye procedures
• Improved lab to production correlation
• Evaluate the performance (blocking) of various sets of dyes
• Minimize run time by reducing or eliminating unnecessary time in exhaustion, fixation, and washing
• Select the most compatible dye combination recipes for production of customer's specification (shade, fastness, cost, etc)
• Recognize disparities in fabric/fiber lots
• Identify inadequately prepared substrates that do not respond correctly to the dyeing process

The Dye-It-Right Monitor™ is connected to laboratory, sample and production dyeing equipment on both batch and continuous dyeing systems, and can be used to monitor water soluble dyes and non-water soluble dyes including disperse, vat and sulfur. The Dye-It-Right Monitor™ is about the size of a “carry-on” suitcase, weighing less than 40 pounds. It is designed to be portable and durable to handle production environments and is managed by a simple-to-learn-and-use software application.
